I've decided I'm going to DragonCon. I haven't been to a con in many many years, but the presence of the Serenity folks has drawn me back in. I'll get to see a lot of old friends, and possibly old lovers (eep), and now I see I'll probably run into a few buffistas. Funny, it hadn't occurred to me before that any buffistas would be there. I guess you all really do live in the same world as me! Creepy.

The trailer took my breath away. God, this is going to be awesome.

It's okay that there's not much Book. Really! Because now, see, there'll be a sequel (yes, there will), and we can get a whole movie devoted to the Secret of Book, rather than squeezing his backstory in with everything else this movie is jammed with.

I went to see a play last night with a bunch of co-workers, most of whom I don't really know all that well. We were waiting outside for a few more to show up, when I overheard the woman standing next to me say to her mom that she "needed a Western hat sometime this summer." I asked her casually if she was going to be a cowboy for Halloween, and she said rather sheepishly that she needed it for "the Firefly movie this September." My eyes got big and I said (as I usually do when I encounter Firefly fans out of the blue), "You're into Firefly, too?! So am I!" Her mom admitted to being into it before her daughter got a chance to borrow her tapes and get hooked as well.

Kathy, that reminds me of a time when the show was still airing. I just all of a sudden started singing the Hero of Canton at a party and boom - discovered fellow Firefly fans. Exciting.

Went out with the Chicagoland Browncoats to see H2G2 last night in Evanston (and ran into the Chicago Scapers there, which was kind of amusing. Though probably only if you're me). Sadly no Serenity trailer, but I enjoyed the movie. Felt ZD's performance was kind of flat, though.

There was a guy wearing a Blue Sun shirt in the audience, but we didn't get a chance to talk to him.

BADGer-n-Riv3R-4-EVA4!

A life. I so need to get one.

I put this sticker up today in a gas station restroom: [link]

Gus, that is very pretty.

that is very pretty.

It is. I take all the credit. Whoever originally produced that cool art should have put the sticker in the bathroom. The SailAweigh props could have been theirs.

Silly them.

Saw Hitchhiker, enjoyed, although the film kept skipping or something... I mean, more than just during the reel to reel transition. It was annoying. I think my favorite book-to-screen imagining was the planet warehouse. That was cool.

Alas, no Serentiy trailer.

That looks fantastic, Gus. You make a superb ninja-pimp. And now I have a really odd mental image of a tall man in black and bling pajamas, stealth-promoting Serenity across the upper midwest.
